R&B singer and actor Usher took to the stage at the Microsoft E3 press conference to help announce Dance Central 3 for Xbox 360 and Kinect. Harmonix did the official reveal, with Usher performing a dance number on-stage, flanked by several other back-up dancers, with some gameplay demonstrated at the end.

Usher appears to be both playable and featured prominently in Dance Central 3 as the lead hype man. We’re sure that many other popular singers and celebrities will follow suit if the seven-time Grammy Award-winning artist is already on-board.
